My transplanted spekboom is final starting to recover. Started from a cutting about 15 years ago when I was still a laaitie. It's been field grown for about 7 years and was transplanted 2 months ago. 70cm tall with a trunk diameter of 42cm at the base. Absolutely beautiful taper. I have developed the trunk, now its time to start developing the branches. 5-6 years and it'll be a gorgeous specimen. 10 years - a masterpiece.
 
That sounds awesome! Wish I could see it.

Where are you located?
Just returned from San Diego. These guys and their cousins, definitely get tree-like in the perfect weather. EEA39FB6-1DF9-4FB8-A156-918176D571F1.jpegA5FEAF06-009C-4948-A956-C4BE6BAFB039.jpeg

Climate really is everything.
